Balled or pointed. I have a small Craftsman belt sander with 320 grit I use to sharpen tungsten. Chucked up in a drill turning low rpm it will give you an excellent point very quickly.
Reply:Sounds like a good method, better than burning your fingers.For the benefit of anybody that may not know, it is suggested that the grinding be parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tungsten.See Diamond Ground Products site for some good info on tungsten types and preparation. http://www.diamondground.com/HowtoPrepareElectrodes.pdf
Reply:you should have a grinder or belt sander just for tungeston and tungeston only...using the same grinding wheel or belt for everyday use is not recomended..you need a belt/wheel just for tungeston because everything else you sand/grind will contaminate the wheel/belt...and then you contaminate the tungeston even before you use it ...zap!I am not completely insane..Some parts are missing Professional Driver on a closed course....Do not attempt.Just because I'm a dumbass don't mean that you can be too.So DON'T try any of this **** l do at home.
Reply:Ive made a tungeston sharpner using a piece of 1/4" ss tubing and a piece of stainless heliarc wire. Works best with a 4" grinder but will work on a bench grinder.. |
